He spoke to AM last night after being handed the Basin Authority's final document.

"What I'm working through at the moment shows that all the suggestions that I'd made appear to be taken into account fully," he said.

"If the rest of the material is of the quality as what I've already gone through then it looks like we may well be in a situation where there is something I can sign off on."

New South Wales has already said it will not support the plan, but the state's support is not needed as federal powers are available to override the state.

Mr Burke says he believes the final plan will be something everyone can work with.

"Certainly any jurisdiction where the starting point is they want the reform to deliver on its ambition and restore the system to health, then I think they'll find that the approach we're taking nails it," he said.

"If people also want to make sure that we're approaching that goal in a way that is sensitive to the needs of communities, then I think they'll find that the pathway to restore the system to health couldn't be more sensitive to the needs of communities than the pathway we've chosen."

Mr Burke says water savings can still be delivered without the support of New South Wales.

"The Water Act works on the basis that if states refuse to cooperate federal powers kick in and override them if they are required, but I genuinely don't believe it will come to that," he said.

"I think people will have different views as to how they would have liked the final plan to look, but I do believe we've got something that all jurisdictions will be able to work with."

The Federal Coalition has given its conditional support to the Murray-Darling plan on the conditions there are minimal water buybacks and there is a guarantee there would not be any negative socio-economic effects.

Mr Burke says he is confident the Murray-Darling plan can deliver on those conditions.

"I don't think we could have done more in the approach that we've taken to deliver on those sorts of principles than we've done," he said.

"There will still be some buyback - it's not like buyback is knocked out - but wherever we can achieve the environmental outcomes in other ways we've done that."
